Ubisoft's cancelled Assassin's Creed Destiny, set in 205 BCE China during the Qin Dynasty's collapse, was revealed through leaked screenshots. Developed with Tencent-owned TiMi studio, the game featured a female protagonist, intricate weapon designs, and historical figure Xiang Yu as a boss. The project was scrapped following a 2025 prototype and TiMi's restructuring.
This cancellation is part of Ubisoft's broader restructuring that included hundreds of layoffs. While Assassin's Creed Destiny is gone, Ubisoft and Tencent continue collaborating on the mobile game Assassin's Creed Jade, also set in China. The cancelled game would have joined other AC titles featuring female leads like Shadows and Hexe.
Ubisoft has been iterating on the franchise formula to balance fan expectations with attracting new, younger players.
